Start your honeymoon adventure by trekking up the highest peak in Wayanad, the Chembra Peak. The trek to the heart-shaped lake located halfway up the peak is about three kilometers and takes approximately two to three hours. Take in the stunning views of Wayanad’s green landscape as you trek through the tea plantations. You can spend a peaceful time by the lake, enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Start the second day of your honeymoon with a visit to the Banasura Sagar Dam, India's largest earth dam. Enjoy the breathtaking sight of the Banasura hills and the dam lake. You can also opt for a short hike to the hills surrounding the dam to catch more picturesque views. In the afternoon, indulge in a romantic paddle boat ride or speed boating in the dam lake.
If you have an extra day you can visit other attractions in Wayanad such as Edakkal Caves, Kuruva Island, or Soochipara Falls. At night, plan a romantic candlelit dinner and overnight stay in a cozy, romantic homestay or treehouse for an intimate experience with your loved one.
If you have less time, you can skip Chembra Peak and take a visit to the ancient Jain temple at Sultan Bathery instead, which takes around 30 minutes to reach from Kalpetta.
